From Townhall.com: Now that several days have passed since President Obama “forgot” the Creator while quoting the Declaration of Independence in his speech before the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (see video here), and my blood pressure is back down from 190/110, perhaps I can take a measured moment to comment on the big picture.

Obama Meets Hecklers at NYC Fundraiser

Republican And Tea Party Voters United Means Mr. Obama Defeated

From Liberty.com: So says Haley Barbour in an Op-Ed in the WSJ yesterday.

Tea party [...]

What happened to the Barack Obama dream?

Obama Admin predicts small scale terror… in time for elections, again?

From Prison Planet: “Terrorism” concerns necessarily hinge on fear, and it is now completely predictable that an otherwise unpopular Obama Administration would roll out the threat of terror to bolster support for the 2010 elections.

Barack Obama: The Man Who Would be God?

From Intellectual Conservative: Some might conclude that if you define sin as being out of alignment with your values, you believe you are God.
